    Best VB site on the Net

    Which is, in your opinion, the best VB-site/forum on the net?

    Don't get me wrong, this is no pro/con to CodeGuru (which is a great site imho). I just wanna know your personal favorites. And I might get some new links

    Re: Best VB site on the Net

    I find planet source code has the biggest set of code by far http://www.planetsourcecode but there is a lot of chaff for a little wheat becuas ecode submission is unmoderated whereas http://www.A1VBCode.com and http://www.vbcity.com have fewer codes samples but _generally_ of higher quality.

    Of course, my own site is also worth a look, but I plug that quite enough ;-)

    It depends on what you want.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com
    First of all, the greatest library available is MSDN, tons and tons of information, samples and stuff, but the downside it that it is hard to find something there, and that a lot of the samples don't work like they should.

    http://www.vbsquare.com
    A site where you can find things for the moderate VB programmer, including a lot of articles, samples, and tutorials.

    http://www.vbapi.com
    don't be fooled by the primitive looks of this, it is a really good resource for when you are dealing with API's. A lot of them explained, possible uses, and samples. Of course, only for API.

    http://www.vbaccelerator.com
    This has got to be one of the most advanced VB sites on the web. A lot of code, really neat thing you can do, very good to add that final touch to your application, but really advanced stuff.

    http://www.vbcodelibrary.co.uk
    This is the site of Chris Eastwood, was the moderator of this very Codeguru VB forum. It has a downloadable library, which can be updated via the web, including samples, howto's and stuff, all categorized. Also has a forum, but it's just starting up, so it's not realy big, and the people who come there are all kinda whacky, goofed, only thinking about VB, girls and booze... (kidding)
